Turtles at Key Wess.
Correspondence Boston Transcript

correspondence Boston transcript
From all along the coast, during the
full moons of May, June and July,
parties go out to the keys and watch
for the coming up of the turtles. By
hundreds all along the coast they
come crawling up, dig holes in the
beach and lay their eggs. Carefully
they cover them up, then start sea-
ward. Happy turtles if they reach the
waters edge. Oftener the watcher
rushes out, marks the nest, turns the
turtle on his back, where he lies help
less, and then seeks others. Night
after night, on almost every key, this
goes on. The eggs are, some say
detest them--fine eating, so is also the
meat. In almost every house near
the coast during the season one sees
great piles of these round, chalky,
paper-shelled eggs, and is offered cake
and bread made from them, ad nau-
scum.

Trials Of a Literary Lady.

not only poor taste, but lack of dis

geniality is never increased by such

Modern Surgery.


From the Youths Companion.
Whlle an8sthet1cS have rendered the
gravest surgical ope1 atiOns well nigh
painless, other still more recent inn
provements have rendered them com
paratively safe.
1t is important that this should be
understood, because dread of the sur.
geon's knife, once reasonable, causes
many operations 20 be put off until
the increase OF the trouble and it's ef
feet on the general health may have
rendered the system unable to rally
from the shock. In all cases the
earlier the operation, the safer it will
be.
The changes in surgical methods
within g. single decade amount to a
revolution. The surgeon himself
looks back with horror on the surgery
of ten years ago. Then the danger
and it was great and ever present
one-was from suppuratlon and con-
sequent blood-poisoning.
Suppuration was looked on as in
evitable. But science now shows that
no suppuration is possible, unless the
germs OF it are introduced from with
out. The germs were formerly intro
duced with the hand of the operator,
or those Of his assistants, Or by his
instruments his threads, his sponges,
his plasters, or his bandages; or they
foated III with the infected air, with
which every hospital was specially
charged.
Now it is known that various solu-
tions destroy all such germs. The
Operating-rOom is therefore kept dis
infected. So are the surgeon and his
attendants, especially their hands and
nails.
Instruments and sponges are taken
at using, directly from the carbonic
solution. Plasters and bandages,
and all ligatures for tying Dlood-ves-
sells or sewing up wounds, are rendered
aseptic. The skin of the patient is
scrubbed with soap and water, and
the parts adjacent to the wound COW
cred with disinfecting towels.
opus is a thing OF the past" says
the Medical Record. "The wound is
now dressed with no expectation that
fever will arise, or that suppuration
will occur, or that the dressings will
require renewal. The patient eats
and sleeps we'll from the first, and the
surgeon removes the dressings only to
find the wound united"-and this,
too, though the largest wounds are
fully sewed up, and without drainage
tubes.
Formerly, the simplest cases of COM
pound fracture were treated with
many misgivings; now the worst cases
give no trouble. Formerly, the larg-
er amputations were terribly fatal;
now, even in amputations of the
thigh, death by suppuration and it's
results does not occur. Formerly,
after tying g. blood-vessel, there was
great danger of it's bursting out again,
through the effect Of suppuration; this
danger has ceased to exist.
Enormous assesses are now freely
opened, cleansed with g. disinfecting
solution, and their walls-sometimes
having many square feet of surface
being pressed together, promptly
unite with uniform success.

Indignation in Ireland Over Transformers
Treachery.
DUBLIN, April 28.-United Ireland

Lansdowne has been guilty of. Black

able mean treachery and malignity.

The Picture Killed Her.
From the Nineteenth Century.


There is famous modern picture
at Moscow of John the Terrible after
he had murdered his son in a fit of
rage, and suddenly discovers the crime
he has committed. The expression in
his eyes is that OF q mailman, with a
curious CLEAN ofhorror and conscious
ness striking him, after his son has
sunk at his feet with the blood stream
ing from his wounded temple. It is in
tensely realistic, and report asserts
that on one occasion a lady was so
much affected by the sight of it that
she fell down dead on the spot. Ac-
cording to this tale, the picture was
subsequently removed to an inner
room and the ladies not admitted in
the absence of q medical attendant.
We inspected the picture in it's inner
room and without this CIRCUMFERENCE
of the doctor.

Whale Soup.
From the Springfield Union.


New Bedford is interested over the
prospect Of g, new industry. It is dis
covered that extract of whale is quite
as good as beef extract, and much
more economical. A whale weighing
200 tons yields 5000 pounds Of ex-
tract, and one pound OF extract makes
100 pints of soup. Thus one whale will
furnish 100000 people with dinners,
and 100 whales will give all the people
in the United States old enough to eat
soup one comfortable meal apiece,
and 5000 whales would give us a.
whale-soup dinner once q week.
There's millions in it.
